Miele S 6210 Operating Instructions Manual page 7

~
The plug must be fitted with a 13 A
fuse (UK).
~
Before using the vacuum cleaner,
check for any signs of damage. Do not
use a damaged appliance. It could be
dangerous.
~
While the vacuum cleaner is under
guarantee, repairs should only be
undertaken by a service technician
authorised by Miele. Otherwise the
guarantee will be invalidated.
~
Do not pull or carry the appliance by
the cable, and be careful not to
damage the cable when withdrawing
the plug from the socket.
Keep the cable away from sharp edges
and do not let it be squashed, for
example, under a door.
Avoid running the vacuum cleaner over
the cable.
This could damage the cable, plug or
socket and pose a safety hazard. The
appliance must not be used if any of
these have suffered damage.
~
If the cable is damaged it must be
replaced together with a complete
cable rewind. For safety reasons this
must only be fitted by the Miele Service
Department or a Miele authorised ser-
vice technician.
~
Repairs should only be carried out
by a Miele authorised service
technician. Repairs and other work by
unqualified persons could be
dangerous. The manufacturer cannot
be held liable for unauthorised work.
Warning and Safety instructions
~
There is a metal inlay underneath
the handle which is designed to protect
the user from electrostatic discharges.
Please make sure that you keep your
hand in constant contact with this metal
strip during vacuuming.
~
It important to switch the vacuum
cleaner off before changing over
accessories and floorheads, especially
an Electro- or Turbobrush.
~
Do not let the vacuum cleaner get
wet. Clean only with a dry cloth or
slightly damp cloth when disconnected
from the mains supply. If moisture gets
into the appliance, there is a risk of
electric shock.
Correct use
~
To avoid the risk of damage, do not
use the vacuum cleaner without the
dustbag, dust compartment filter and
exhaust filter in place.
~
If a dustbag is not inserted, the dust
compartment cover does not normally
close. Do not force it.
~
Do not vacuum up any water, liquid
or damp dirt. This could cause major
faults and seriously impair the
functioning and electrical safety of the
appliance. Wait until any freshly
cleaned or shampooed carpets or floor
coverings are completely dry before
attempting to vacuum.
~
Do not vacuum toner dust. Toner,
such as that used in printers and
photocopiers, can conduct electricity.
The filter system in the vacuum cleaner
may not filter it completely, causing the
toner to be blown back into the room by
the fan.
